We did the Euro 2008 sweep at work today. I have got Spain... evidently thats good! We put in £1 for a team, not extortionate but some people at work still wouldn't join in the fun. One just said no and the other wouldn't join in because England weren't in it. Even if England were in it you can't be sure you're going to pick them out!! Completely irrational.

I'm just trying to find details about all the teams... no statistics just team photos to see who's the cutest! I'm a football expert as you can see!

Now I know that there are quite a few teachers on here so don't bite my head off! I sell books to schools and deal with all manner of teachers, librarians and bursars. The majority are wonderful, charming and polite.

Once in a while though I am shocked beyond belief. When did it all change? English teachers who can't spell and maths teachers who can't work out percentages? Mind you I'm more worried when the bursars can't do the sums.

I'm always surprised that teachers are so upbeat. How do you all do it? It takes the patience of a saint to work with children.
